Could they have found a more lame person to rewrite an outdated and embarassing Dolphins fight song (which at least has some history to it)?
I live in Los Angeles and watch games at a large sports bar where they show every NFL game. When the Redskins or the Eagles score you can hear these guys loudly singing their fight song. When the Dolphins score, the Dolfans (there are about 15 of us) look sort of sheepish and complain about our crappy fight song.
Jimmy Buffet isn’t going help.

Ethan, this is not a joke question to ask him, I’m being serious:
Ask him what the Dolphins got out of the deal with Buffett and LandShark besides a song. The stadium naming deal did not reportedly include any money or benefit for the Dolphins aisde from Buffett’s celebrity. How does that help the team and does he have any long-term sponsors lined up?
